I don’t see how anyone can hide behind the ”it’s not making her more money” or ”she’s just fighting for women” anymore.
No. She is hurting people. She’s using that money to hurt people. Stop lying to yourself.
I don’t care how much I loved those books. She is just pure hatred at this point.

When you are caught up in the daily grind, it’s hard to see a way out of it. Reactive works fills whatever void you give it, reflective/proactive work often requires you to carve out time and habits. Writing MORE tests might help. Or just give you more reactive work.

Top 38 illustrations for my talk in Prague this week (yes, they are all my favourite one)
Tests (automated in this case) have layers. Layers of depth, purpose. Which layers to use, the size and where on the onion you put them - that’s something YOU need to figure out. don’t blend them into soup

Why repeat the things you already created when you can create something new instead?
My dear friend @pejgan.se will soon be giving our Musical-Keynote again - but with new content.
I'm so looking forward to Stockholm and Bilbao!

I am watching people lift very heavy stuff. I’ve never felt more out of place and I seem to constantly be in someone’s way. I deserve a girlfriend 🏅after this

The relief when you find the right combo of painkillers for a particular pain is something I hope most people never have to experience. I hope you all get to live life mostly painfree and think <insert any over the counter pain med you like> works on everything

I slept in a pile of cats. If I can just convince grumpy cat to join my life is complete. I had cat on my tummy. Cat on my feet. Cat lying next to me. So much cat. (So little sleep. Who cares)

I was gonna go through my next talk a few times today but my kids made me do a bunch of garden work yesterday so I am officially doing nothing but be in pain today. (And likely drive them around to find stuff to make the cat climb tree they/we are apparently building)
So much easier to buy one

Of the people who detransition, only 4% do it because they actually feel transition is not for them. The rest do it due to outside pressure.
That's 0.36% of those who undergo some form of transition.

Largest trans survey ever finds the top reason transgender people stop transitioning is transphobia
“In almost every single case, the reason was anti-trans discrimination in the form of pressure to ‘detransition’ from one’s family, friends, or community,” the survey found.

Getting back into hands-on testing has been a ride. I expected some of my traits to kick in but I did NOT expect to feel so frustrated with not having access to every little thing to FEEL in control.
Eh who am I kidding. While writing it I realize I totally should habe expected it.

I’m another one who got the opportunity to do this. Did it increase my visibility as a speaker? No idea! But I know for a fact that it created a card deck AND later on a book. It also pushed me to pair more with others. Lots more!
Pair presenting at conferences has so many benefits - for everyone! I wish all conferences supported this with comping paired speakers. Here's my journey: lisacrispin.com/2025/04/17/p...
The joys of pair presenting - Holistic Testing with Lisa Crispin
Pair programming and pair testing are leading practices. Pair presenting has many benefits too. It helps me learn, it helps with diversity
